hi all

i have a piston valve that has suddenly become "muddy". I have cleaned it, oiled it, etc etc and it isn't doing much. It is weird...sometimes it feels great, then in the middle of a piece it'll muddy up. This tells me it could be something about the angle I am using with that valve. My other horn (rotar) is having a little trouble lately with the same valve. Does this point to a possibilty that I have changed the way I use my 2nd valve finger? What can I do about this???

Thanks
